UNSPSC 94131901: Animal liberation movements

UNSPSC 94131901 Animal liberation movements is a Commodity code, though the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not align with the code's nominal scope. The opportunities represent animal shelter, rescue, and veterinary services procurement — including dog kenneling and boarding, spay/neuter and emergency veterinary care, animal food and housing equipment, vaccine and microchip clinics, rescue partner programs, and animal control consulting — rather than animal liberation activism or advocacy. State and local governments soliciting under this code are primarily municipal animal control and shelter departments, county animal services divisions, and police departments operating animal welfare facilities, with activity concentrated among mid- to large-sized jurisdictions in Texas, Florida, Oregon, Arizona, Georgia, California, Colorado, New Jersey, and North Carolina. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix's RFQ for animal boarding services supporting police and human services (sealed offers due October 21, 2026, five-year term commencing January 1, 2027 with DBE-N reporting requirements); Yamhill County Sheriff's Office dog kenneling and adoption services RFP (proposals due August 31, 2026 with cost structured as flat annual rate plus license revenue share); City of San Antonio's applications for spay/neuter contract veterinarians at $1,300 per shift, emergency veterinary care services (RFP due August 17, 2026 with pre-submittal conference July 13), and rescue partner incentive program at $200 per animal ($1,300 per shift for emergency veterinary services due August 17, 2026); and Collier County's comprehensive veterinary services ITN (proposals due February 4, 2025, three years plus two one-year renewals, with WBE/MBE and local-vendor preference scoring criteria).

The code shows steady activity across routine animal shelter operations, facility management, and contracted clinical services. Soliciting bodies span municipal animal control departments (Phoenix, San Antonio, Fort Worth, Atlanta, Wichita), county animal services divisions (Yamhill County, Collier County, Hillsborough County, Harris County, Gwinnett County, Solano County), special-purpose animal welfare centers (Bergen County Animal Shelter), and police departments with animal services functions (Wichita). Opportunities reflect both service contracts (boarding, veterinary care, adoption support, rescue partnerships) and product procurement (kennel doors, cat condos, pet carriers, canine beds, shelter food). The City of San Antonio has posted multiple complementary opportunities (spay/neuter, emergency care, rescue partnerships, vaccine and microchip clinics) indicating a systemic modernization of contracted animal services. Small-business participation goals and WBE/MBE scoring appear in recent RFPs from Collier County (5 and 10 points respectively), City of Wichita (10-percent set-aside equivalent), and City of Fort Worth (30-percent goal in housing equipment procurement). Cost structures vary widely — flat monthly rates, per-animal fees ($200–$1,300 depending on service), per-shift compensation, and supply contracts — reflecting the diversity of animal welfare service models across jurisdictions.
